The Damned, one of the first punk bands. Reunion show in 1988, 12 years after the tsunami. Still in fine shape at the time. It was good while it lasted.
"New rose*, from the same show, captured live in the CD and DVD "Final damnation". Which ended up not being final ๐

The Covid Commission - A Tool for Tyranny
In our view, the RCI report on everyone's lips calls for an even more hegemonic state.
It contains serious scientific omissions and errors, and ignores medical ethics and human rights protections entirely.
It wishes to render us prisoners of militaristic public health, a favourite from the tyrannists' toolbox.
To us, it plays out like this.

There are crocodile tears and predatory framing standing arm in arm as it calls for harsher mandates, triggered by WHO edict not by local decision making, and the targeting of inconvenient dissenters.

Is it possible to build a secular meaning system, one that is reality-based but does not leave the the nervous system feeling "hollow"?
Yes, by finding functional replacements for the psychological services that magical thinking provides.

To do this, we translate "spiritual" needs into neuro-biological needs.
1. Replacing "God's Favor" with "Agency"
The belief that a god is in your corner provides a sense of safety. To replace this, we focus on the Prefrontal Cortex's ability to plan and act.

Instead of "The universe will provide," we shift to "I am a system that can adapt."

The following is from a conversation with Alter Systems AI on Antiphospholipid Syndrome. Disclaimer: Always double check an AI for accuracy and do not try any therapies or treatments without consulting a physician first.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), sometimes called Hughes Syndrome, is an autoimmune clotting disorder characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) โ mainly anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), anti-beta2-glycoprotein I antibodies (anti-ฮฒ2GPI), and lupus anticoagulant (LA) โ which trigger hypercoagulability, meaning the blood becomes abnormally prone to clotting. This can lead to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), stroke, pulmonary embolism, recurrent miscarriages, and a range of other vascular complications.
๐ฉธ Core Mechanisms
To understand APS mechanistically:
1Antibodies and endothelial activation
โฆThe immune system in APS targets phospholipid-binding plasma proteins (like ฮฒ2-glycoprotein I).
โฆThis immune attack activates the endothelium, monocytes, and platelets.
โฆThe result: a pro-thrombotic state and vascular inflammation.
2The โsecond hitโ phenomenon
โฆMany APS patients go long periods without clots until a trigger โinfection, stress, trauma, or vaccinationโactivates coagulation cascades.
โฆSo having antibodies isnโt enough; immune activation completes the cycle.
๐งฌ Connections Between APS and Infectious or Vaccine Triggers
APS doesnโt arise in a vacuumโit often follows infectious or immunologic triggers that stimulate cross-reactive autoimmune responses (molecular mimicry). Hereโs how Parvovirus B19, EBV, SARS-CoVโ2, and vaccines factor in:

APS doesnโt arise in a vacuumโit often follows infectious or immunologic triggers that stimulate cross-reactive autoimmune responses (molecular mimicry). Hereโs how Parvovirus B19, EBV, SARS-CoVโ2, and vaccines factor in:
๐ฆ 1. Parvovirus B19
โขParvovirus B19 has long been known to induce antiphospholipid antibodies transiently, and in some individuals, chronically.
โขThe virus infects endothelial cells and can expose phospholipids or ฮฒ2GPI on the surface.
โขThis leads to the production of aPL antibodies mimicking those seen in true APS.
โขSome patients develop B19-triggered secondary APS, particularly women after viral myocarditis or rash illnesses.
๐งซ 2. EpsteinโBarr Virus (EBV)
โขEBV is a potent immune modulator that can immortalize B-cells and cause dysregulation of antibody production.
โขEBV infections (and reactivations) produce wide-spectrum autoantibodies including anti-nuclear and antiphospholipid antibodies.
โขEBVโs cross-reactive peptides mimic ฮฒ2-glycoprotein and cardiolipin epitopes, so chronic or post-EBV fatigue syndromes often present with low-level aPL positivity, linking it to autoimmune endothelial dysfunction and sometimes microthrombotic symptoms.

๐ฆ 3. SARS-CoVโ2
โขCOVID-19 is pro-thrombotic by nature, and one of the overlooked findings early in the pandemic was that 30โ50% of hospitalized patients had aPL antibodiesโeven when they didn't have known APS before.
โขThe SARS-CoVโ2 spike protein induces endothelial damage, complement activation, and immune complex formationโall potential triggers for APS.
โขSome reports suggest โCOVID-associated coagulopathyโ may actually be secondary APS, or at least share its pathogenic features.
โขInterestingly, those APS-like microclots and long-COVID symptoms overlap significantly with known APS sequelae such as brain fog, livedo reticularis, and fatigue.
๐ 4. Vaccine-Related APS and Autoimmune Triggers
โขThere are documented cases of new-onset or reactivated APS following mRNA and adenoviral-based inoculations.
โขThe mechanism appears to parallel natural infection:
โฆMolecular mimicry between spike-derived peptides and ฮฒ2GPI/cardiolipin.
โฆEndothelial and platelet activation via innate immune signaling from the LNPs (lipid nanoparticles) or adenoviral vectors.
โฆCytokine surges (especially IL-6 and TNF-ฮฑ) acting as the โsecond hit.โ
โขThis is sometimes called Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) or Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA) when the events are subclinical or donโt meet full APS criteria.
โขIndependent researchers have proposed that these conditions are variations along a single pathophysiologic spectrumโwhere infection, vaccine, or environmental triggers provoke dormant autoimmunity via shared molecular targets.

The tension between "magical thinking" and "reality-based thinking" is one of the most profound divides in the human experience. From the framework of neuropsychiatry and psychotherapy, the answer isn't that people are "failing" to be logical;
it's that the human brain is not primarily designed for logic. It is designed for regulation and survival.
Magical thinking persists because it solves biological and emotional problems that pure "reality" often leaves unaddressed.

All day I've been whacking my head against this vital tweet and the press release attached to it.
It's probably one of the most important things I've read about the early progression of the pandemic, but it's very hard to express concisely the huge scandal they've exposed here.
It's probably one of the most important things I've read about the early progression of the pandemic, but it's very hard to express concisely the huge scandal they've exposed here.
The central difficulty with getting your head round it is that there are *two* scandals detailed here:
๐The first is that key advice by experts was ignored in 2020.
๐The second is that a huge amount of money seems to have been spent covering that up.

So you need to think about the first scandal first, before being able to fully appreciate the second one.
